I got my WPT last night. Playfield is perfect, but there are some minor issues with the cabinet. There are a few scrapes on the right side backbox and a very small piece of wood missing on the left side backbox edge. I understand that the art is painted/stenciled, not a decal. True? So, I'm looking for some advice on fixing these issues.

Can I used Bondo for the missing wood near the edge? It's almost 100% black there, so it should be easy to match. What type of paint?

The scratches on the other side are tougher. I'm no artist, but would need to be get it looking right.

I can post some pics if needed.

Love this game. Very deep.

Thanks.

Okay, I used Bondo for wood. It looks good and I was surprised how easy it was. Now, I need to paint it. It's black. Do I need gloss or semi-gloss?
